“Fractured”: Exact Details of Drew McIntyre’s Injury & Return Status Revealed After Missing King of the Ring Match

Ahead of WWE RAW, Adam Pearce announced that Drew McIntyre could not compete in the King of the Ring Tournament. The Scottish Warrior was set to face Finn Balor for the first qualifying match. While it was never revealed what actually happened, it was said he was not medically cleared. During the show, we got an update on why McIntyre could not compete.

A few weeks ago, when Drew McIntyre said, “I fractured my elbow at WrestleMania XL,” he wasn’t lying. As it turns out, the injury was worse than predicted. The interaction between Pearce and the WWE star revealed that McIntyre was hiding the severity of his injury. This was used in the building storyline with CM Punk. While the Scottish star took the credit for injuring Punk and setting him aside for Mania, now Punk is doing the same. After not getting the green light from Pearce, McIntyre left the building. However, CM Punk came out to cut a promo on him.
